Why democracy is a BAD thing. Sometimes. (the_debaser)

This terror bill that that Blair's lot are trying to put through, which allows people to be incarcerated in their homes for an indefinite amount of time without ever being put to trial or even knowing what they are supposed to have done, is a morally reprehensible piece of legislation, as any level headed person would agree.

Its quite clearly something designed to cover Tony's back should any terrorist attack ever occur over here. If something happens we'll get: 'Well we did everything we could, with locking up all these Muslims. What else could we have done?'. And if it doesn't get passed as legislation, that smarmy twat will simply say 'Told you so - should've listened to me'.

Anyway, fair play to our peers for rejecting the bill, and thank God for a second house of non-elected toffs. They seem to have more sense that the buffoons that we put into the commons most of the time. Yes.

Lets just hope the Commons doesn't end up forcing it through.
